Hornady 546262 Custom Grade Series I Die Set 25-06 Rem 2-Die

The Hornady 546262 Custom Grade Series I 2-Die Set transforms 25-06 Remington cartridge preparation with precision-engineered dies that deliver consistent case dimensions and optimal bullet seating. This complete reloading solution includes both full-length sizing and bullet seating dies, eliminating the guesswork from handloading premium hunting ammunition.

What Makes This Different

Custom Grade Series I dies feature Hornady's Elliptical Expander technology that reduces case neck tension variation by up to 50% compared to standard expander balls. The Sure-Loc lock rings prevent die movement during extended reloading sessions, while the precision-ground internal surfaces maintain tolerances within 0.0005 inches. These dies consistently produce ammunition that groups tighter than factory loads in most rifles.

Key Features

• Full-length sizing die with Elliptical Expander reduces case neck runout
• Bullet seating die with built-in roll crimp for secure bullet retention
• Sure-Loc lock rings with set screws prevent accidental adjustment
• Zip Spindle design allows quick die changes without losing settings
• Compatible with all standard 7/8-14 reloading presses
• Heat-treated steel construction rated for 10,000+ sizing cycles
• Includes detailed instructions with recommended powder charges

Field testing shows these dies produce ammunition capable of sub-MOA accuracy in quality bolt-action rifles chambered in 25-06 Remington. The consistent case preparation translates to uniform powder charges and predictable ballistics across temperature ranges from -20°F to 120°F. Competition shooters report improved ES (extreme spread) numbers, while hunters appreciate the reliable expansion characteristics of properly seated bullets.
